Great story.

Another favorite Dean Smith story is in his will, he bought dinner for every former player that he had after he had passed away.  They all received a check for $200.

Late North Carolina basketball coach Dean Smith, who died last month, willed his trust to send $200 to each player who lettered under him, Tim Breedlove, who wrote the letter, confirmed to SI.com.

 

Quote

In the letter Smith's former players received from Miller McNeish & Breedlove, PA, it was revealed that Smith requested each of his former players be sent a $200 check with the message, "enjoy a dinner out compliments of Coach Dean Smith." The enclosed checks also included the notation, "Dinner out."

By SI's count, Smith coached 184 players from 1961 to 1997.

He sent a coach to Africa to learn about African culture?   I mean, wasn’t there a class on African Studies already at UNC?  Oh yeah…. Riiiight.  

That goddamn four corners was an abomination, but he was a hell of a coach and a great person…

There’s good stuff on Dean and history ACCT that’s been showing on the ACCN, recommend it for any CBK fans.
